History was made in early 2010 when Tomas Sanchez became the very first Garífuna in Guatemala to start blogging. If you are interested in learning about the Garífuna on a deeper level, Garifuna culture and spirituality beyond the tourists' vision, then here is where you need to be. Gain insight into the reality of the Garífunas in Livingston and feel free to leave comments. Thank you for visiting.

Open Eyes

Part III

It is the second time the word “seed” has caught my
attention early in the morning, it is a day after the assembly of the Black
Association of Central America (CABO). I would like to share with you my point
of view, but before I continue I would like for you to know, that I am new at
this, my eyes came open not long ago, and through an instrument like this, I
hope to share with you some of my views through the eyes of a Garífuna.

I would like to get back o the word 'seed' and hope to stick
to the point of view. I would like to use a term that I hope would not offend anyone; a good friend told me about the concept of “public masturbation” while
we were participating in the event that took place on the 8th December 2012 in
Labuga, Guatemala.

Public masturbation in my opinion can be a double edge
sword; therefore our Garífuna “representatives” should be aware of that.
Speaking of masturbation, another version is happening on cyber space, within
the cyber space community, should we be the first to call it “cyber space
masturbation”?

Now let’s get back to the seeds that “come” with the
masturbation. I have seen our representatives twice masturbating, the first was
on the first week of December 2005, and the second time was the 8th December
2012, in Labuga.

In 2005 when the seeds were set, I do believe that the soil
was not ready, and if we don’t take radical changes the results will be the
same ten years from now.
